Another brand name is Gu. It's a form of taking in calories, caffeine and carbs on a long run or bike ride, you open the pouch, swallow the gel and wash it down with water. I prefer the Power Gel Blasts, myself. They're like gummy candies with a gel center. I may have ordered a case or two of those, as well...

Don't know how much longer the special will be running, but National Running Center is selling boxes of Power Bar Power Gels Buy One, Get One Free. It's $24 for the box, which is decent, but getting the 2nd box makes it fantastic. Shipping isn't cheap, it's almost $9, but if you are a member of the PR Club, shipping is free and the price drops to $21.60 for the 2 boxes.
